[SDL] Porting to Win32 -- Which Method?

[Aaron Traas]

I'm the only one writing my project, so I can use any compiler I want.
It has to compile on Win32, however. I don't know how to get the OpenGL
stuff compiling without linking with X. Is there any way to make the
autoconf scripts include libraries different in Linux and Win32?

I've never written really portable code before, and never made GNU
automake and autoconf scripts before. I had KDevelop generate them for
me.

Thanks.
